Medical Conditions - Nodular Acne

"Nodular acne is caused due to overproduction of oil on the skin. When the oil gets trapped with other dead cells and bacteria, infection occurs. It will form blackheads and whiteheads on the skin with swelling resulting in a breakout. Taking antibiotics can help to kill bacteria, causing an infection on the skin. Using benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid helps to treat it.
